MERCEDES BENZ APPLICATION

The primary purpose of the clutch pressure plate is to facilitate the transfer of torque between the engine and transmission. As the engine generates rotational power, the clutch assembly engages to transfer that power to the transmission input shaft. The pressure plate creates the necessary frictional engagement between the clutch plate and flywheel through its clamping force. This engagement allows torque to be transferred from the engine crankshaft to the transmission input shaft, initiating vehicle motion. The pressure plate applies consistent clamping force, ensuring efficient transfer of torque for responsive acceleration and controlled power delivery.
